ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has established a separate technical structure for Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty (FED), with the creation of a new post of Member Sales Tax and FED (Technical).
Under the new sales tax structure, the Member Sales Tax and FED (Technical) will head the dedicated technical wing, which will have two separate positions of Chief, namely Chief Sales Tax and FED (Technical-I) and Chief Sales Tax and FED (Technical-II).
The two Chief-level positions will operate under the Member Sales Tax and FED (Technical), providing a dedicated administrative and technical chain of command for matters relating to Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty.

The notification has placed a BS-20 officer as Chief Sales Tax and FED (Technical-II), while a BS-19 officer has been appointed as Chief (OPS), Sales Tax and FED (Technical-I). The latter will also retain additional responsibilities relating to the Legal-HR and Pension Cell under the Admin/HR Wing.
At the next level, a BS-18 officer has been posted as Second Secretary, Sales Tax and FED (Technical). In addition, five BS-17 and BS-18 officers have been assigned positions of Second Secretary in the new technical setup.
The notification also provides for the placement of officers from different operational and administrative assignments in the dedicated Sales Tax and FED technical structure, establishing a separate team under the newly appointed Member.
The new arrangement reflects FBR’s move towards a specialised organisational setup for Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty, with a dedicated Member at the top, two Chief-level positions and supporting Second Secretaries at the lower administrative level.
